The Great Central Railway and Leicestershire countryside

Pictures taken on the 14th of March

It was a bit of an adventure
first, Roger overshot Loughborough and ended up at East Midlands Parkway
Second, I had my first burger since i got to Loughborough
!!
it was at this tiny cafe called Maggie's Cafe
and the burger was amazingly good in a non-artery clogging way
ha..!

then, we had to walk in a 'deserted' part of town to get to the rail station
it ended with us panting up the hill because the next departure was 2 hours later

flowers i found along the loughborough canal while i was waiting for him to arrive



a farm near Quorn station



the city boy walking in the fields :P





Quorn station



items from the past including.. water buckets to put out fire



and old stationery



the swithland reservoir; we didnt have time to hike
but i really wanted to

when i was taking this picture, leaning out of the door
the chef warned me not to fall off
i replied that i wont
and he said: "They all said that"
O_o
so i made sure i didnt lean on it!!
